Applying Case Based Based Reasoning to Sensor Fusion

Claudio A. Policastro, André C. P. L. F. de Carvalho · 2007

One of the possible causes for global warming is the human intervention in the environment. The increasing amount of industrial and residential contaminants in lakes and rivers is seriously harming the quality of the water resources. In many countries, most of the sewage is directly sent to rivers or lakes, without any treatment. The impact on the environment of toxic waste, from a wide variety of manufacturing processes, is well known. More recently, however, it has become clear that the more subtle effects of nutrient level and chemical balance changes arising from farming land run-off and sewage water treatment also have a serious, but indirect, effect on the states of rivers, lakes and even the sea. This paper investigates the use of a hybrid Case Based Reasoning system for monitoring water quality based on chemical and physical parameters and algae population.
